“Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, who has written about the philosophical dimension of indigenous thought, reports on a symposium in Manchester, England, where an audience member (who turned out to be Stuart Hall) remarked somewhat skeptically about his talk on “Indian philosophy” that “your Indians seem to have studied in Paris.” By his own account, Viveiros de Castro responded to Hall’s boutade with a boutade of his own: “No, in fact exactly the opposite occurred: Parisians went to study with the Indians.” 138”
Ella Shohat, Unthinking Eurocentrism: Multiculturalism and the Media

“My anxiety and pain during the Scud attacks on Israel, where some of my family lives, did not cancel out my fear and anguish for the victims of the bombardment of Iraq, where I also have relatives.”
